- The major factor behind the rise of solar deployment is giga-scale solar manufacturing and the continuous adoption of innovations to reduce prices.

- Cutting-edge giga-scale solar manufacturing stands on three pillars:
- disruptive PV chemistries
- manufacturing by custom-engineered advanced production equipment, and
- utilisation of innovative BOM components like special glasses and coatings.
